Rain Maker

Found this article yesterday, http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/03/scientists-create-52-artificial-rain-storms-in-abu-dhabi-desert/?hpt=T2.

They (scientist) made it rain for 52 days in the Abu Dhabi Desert - Holy Cow!

Now there should be concerns, as I see it, about what impact that has on the rest of the planet, but that is pretty big news.  Someone in the article commented, "Why isn't this bigger, front-page news?"  I agree.  This would seem to qualify for a enlarged heading.

Before we start to irrigate the deserts though and turn them into gardens, I sure hope there are smarter scientists looking into the global impact of moving water from one are to another.

Discussion anyone......
